Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma are separated by just eight seconds in the overall standings, but the focus before the final day in Nice extends beyond the race result. Tensions reached their peak at the end of the eighth stage, where Vollering attacked on the final climb to Nič, securing the stage win and taking the yellow jersey from Niewiadoma, who had previously shone on Mont Ventoux.
